Croatia was among the countries with decreasing emissons between 2009 and 2010 (-1.6%). The total energy consumption in 2010 was 2.6 percent lower than in the previous year. This reduction is the results of decreased consumption of liquid fuels (14.9 percent) and imported electricity (11.8 percent). It is also due to increase in hydro power utilization (by 17.5 percent from the previous year) and larger consumption of fuel wood and other renewables. Due to decreasing of economic activity within 2009 and 2010, cement production was decreased by 23 and 26 percent, respectively. Whereas the ammonia production in 2010 was 17 percent higher in comparison to 2009 and nitric acid production was 29 percent higher as well in 2010 in comparison to 2009. The level of emissions from the latter sub‐sectors strongly depend on consumer’s demand for particular type of mineral fertilizer at the market.
